Statistical Area (SA2) Boundary Analysis

This analysis uses ABS Statistical Areas Level 2 (SA2) boundaries, which can materially differ from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) even when sharing similar names.

SA2 boundaries are defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and are designed to represent communities for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP).

Suburbs and Localities (SAL) represent commonly-used suburb/locality names (postal-style areas) and may use different geographic boundaries. For comprehensive analysis, consider reviewing both boundary types if available.

Interstate and internal migration accounts for 61.2% of that increase. Density is about 71 people per square kilometre. Population is estimated from ABS Estimated Resident Population releases and GNAF address data, re-based from the 2021 Census and updated annually.

Detail

According to data examined by AreaSearch, the population of Upper Caboolture is estimated to be approximately 3,933 as of May 2026. This represents a growth of 673 individuals (20.6%) from the 3,260 residents recorded in the 2021 Census. This calculation combines the ABS estimated resident population of 3,597 in June 2025 with 641 validated new addresses registered after the Census. The region maintains a density of 70 persons per square kilometer, offering substantial space per inhabitant and potential for future expansion. The population expansion rate of 20.6% since the 2021 census outpaced the national benchmark of 9.3% and the state average, positioning the locality as a regional growth leader.

The primary driver of this demographic expansion was interstate migration, which accounted for roughly 61.2% of the overall population rise, though other factors like natural increase and overseas migration also registered positive results. AreaSearch utilizes projections from ABS and Geoscience Australia released in 2024 using 2022 as the base year. For locations lacking this coverage, and for periods beyond 2032, Queensland State Government projections from 2023 based on 2021 numbers are implemented. Because these state projections lack age-specific breakdowns, AreaSearch allocates cohort growth weightings matching the ABS Greater Capital Region projections from 2023 using 2022 data. Future demographic modeling indicates rapid growth, placing the area in the top 10 percent of statistical regions nationwide, with an anticipated increase of 3,487 people to 2041 relative to the most recent annual ERP figures, representing an overall expansion of 80.1% across the 16 years.

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

367 new dwellings have been approved in Upper Caboolture over the past five years, an average of 73 a year. That places the area in the 76th percentile for residential development activity nationally, about 19 approvals per 1,000 residents a year.

Detail

Upper Caboolture has seen an average of approximately 73 residential building permits issued annually, representing 367 dwellings over the last 5 financial years. Thus far in FY-26, there have been 533 approvals registered. Given that only 0.9 people per year relocated to the district for every built home over the 5 financial years spanning FY-21 to FY-25, residential construction is matching or exceeding demand, supplying purchasers with extra opportunities and supporting population growth that may outpace current projections, with the average value of these new builds recorded at $315,000. In comparison to Greater Brisbane, development activity in Upper Caboolture is slightly elevated, running 44.0% above the regional average per capita over the 5 year timeframe, which helps maintain choices for buyers while supporting property demand.

This rate is notably higher than the national standard, pointing to strong developer confidence. New builds consist of 86.0% detached houses and 14.0% multi-unit developments or townhouses, preserving the low-density aesthetic of the area and focusing on family-oriented housing. Having roughly 51 people for every residential approval, Upper Caboolture exhibits characteristics typical of a developing growth corridor. Projections indicate that Upper Caboolture will gain 3,151 residents by 2041, based on the most recent quarterly estimate from AreaSearch. Current levels of building activity appear consistent with these future needs, promoting balanced market conditions without driving major price appreciation.

Jobs & IndustryEmployment Trends in Upper Caboolture

Table Chart PROFILE FAQ

2,046 residents of Upper Caboolture are employed, from a labour force of 2,100. Unemployment sits at 2.6%, with participation at 69.9%. Weighted for its industry mix, the area's sectors are forecast to grow about 6.2% nationally over five years. That reflects industry composition only and makes no allowance for local population growth, so in an area growing as fast as this one it understates the likely rise in local jobs. The working-day population is estimated at 3,107, about 79% of the resident population, so more people leave the area for work than travel in. Unemployment and labour force come from ABS Small Area Labour Markets, updated quarterly; the industry and occupation profile is from the 2021 Census.

Detail

The workforce of Upper Caboolture displays a balanced mix of professional and manual employment fields, with the construction sector showing strong representation, an unemployment rate of only 2.6%, and an estimated job growth rate of 4.5% over the past year. In March 2026, there were 2,046 employed local residents, and the unemployment rate sat 1.8% below the Greater Brisbane average of 4.3%, while workforce participation closely tracked the Greater Brisbane rate of 70.4%. Census records indicate that a moderate 15.5% of the local workforce operated from home, though the influence of Covid-19 health restrictions should be kept in mind.

The major employment sectors for residents are construction, health care & social assistance, and retail trade. The district exhibits a clear specialization in construction, with its employment share reaching 1.9 times the regional average. Conversely, professional & technical roles account for only 4.8% of the local workforce, compared to 8.9% across Greater Brisbane. The local market provides relatively few jobs within the area itself, as shown by comparing the count of Census working individuals to resident workers. Based on analysis of SALM and ABS statistics by AreaSearch, the year ending March 2026 saw employment expand by 4.5% and the labor force grow by 4.9%, resulting in a 0.4 percentage point rise in unemployment. Over the same period, Greater Brisbane saw employment rise by 3.2% and the labor force grow by 3.4%, with a 0.1 percentage point increase. National employment forecasts published in May-25 by Jobs and Skills Australia provide context for future labor demand in Upper Caboolture. These five-year and ten-year projections have been applied to the local workforce structure to model potential growth. While overall national employment is projected to rise by 6.6% over five years and 13.7% over ten years, trends vary by industry. Applying these industry projections to the local employment distribution suggests Upper Caboolture employment could grow by 6.2% over five years and 12.9% over ten years, noting this is a basic weighted extrapolation for demonstration purposes that does not account for local population projections.

How the numbers are built

Population

The Census provides the small-area baseline, aggregated from mesh blocks to this boundary. It is then re-based to the ABS Estimated Resident Population (June 2025 release), and new dwellings built since Census night are counted from address data — 641 validated new addresses here. The headline figure is therefore a current estimate for May 2026, not a 2021 count (3,260 at the 2021 Census → 3,933 now). Annual growth rates are compound (CAGR), not simple averages.

Age profile

Cohort shares are not raw Census counts. Every cohort is held as a pair — the Census baseline and a current estimate — and the split is re-based using ERP and state population projections, current to May 2026. Median age is the Census median plus modelled change since. Charts that show both are labelled "2021 Census vs Current Estimate".

Property sales

Sourced from the state valuation authority's sales register — current, not Census, and refreshed weekly. Medians are calculated from settled transactions in the period shown; periods with very low transaction counts are flagged or suppressed, because a handful of sales can move a median substantially.

Rents

Derived from state rental bond lodgement data, by dwelling type and bedroom count. Bonds are lodged at the start of a new tenancy, so this reflects new lettings, not the whole rented stock.

Development & infrastructure

Building approvals come from current ABS releases; development applications are collected from council and state planning portals; the infrastructure pipeline is compiled from Infrastructure Australia and local government sources. Applications are matched to this boundary by address or coordinates, so very recent lodgements may not yet appear.

Employment & income

Industry and occupation structure comes from the Census, but the headline labour-market indicators do not. Unemployment and labour force are derived from ABS Small Area Labour Markets (quarterly). The employment outlook applies Department of Employment forecasts for all 19 industry divisions to this area's own industry mix (the agency is now Jobs and Skills Australia), as does the Internet Vacancy Index used for job demand. Because it is weighted on industry composition alone, that outlook carries no allowance for local population growth — in fast-growing areas the real rise in local jobs will typically be higher. Income combines Census household income with ATO taxable-income statistics for FY 2023, indexed forward using the Wage Price Index.

Education, transport & amenities

School enrolments, ICSEA and performance come from ACARA's current release, not the Census. Public transport stops and service frequency are derived from GTFS timetable feeds published by state transport departments. Services and amenities are proximity and count scores built from provider directories, refreshed on their own cycle. The Census contributes only the travel-to-work and qualification measures.

Rankings and benchmarks. Where we rank this area, the comparison set is every area of the same boundary type — suburbs against suburbs, SA2s against SA2s. Benchmarks compare this area against its greater capital city region and the national figure for the same measure and period.

Limits worth knowing. Small areas carry larger error margins, and the ABS introduces small random adjustments to Census counts to protect confidentiality — so totals may not sum exactly. Estimates re-based from regional data describe the area's expected trajectory, not a direct count of it. Figures are indicative for research and are not financial, planning or valuation advice.

Cross-check us. The Census baseline for this boundary is at ABS 2021 Census QuickStats (313041376). QuickStats reports 2021 only — the figures on this page are more current wherever the ledger shows a later date.

Common questions about this page

Why can the Upper Caboolture SA2 boundary differ from the suburb boundary?
This page uses ABS Statistical Area Level 2 (SA2) boundaries for statistical reporting (e.g., census and ERP). SA2 areas can differ materially from Suburbs and Localities (SAL) boundaries, even when they share similar names, because they are defined for different purposes and often use different geographic boundaries.
Where does the data on this Upper Caboolture page come from?
AreaSearch compiles this page from official and industry sources — including ABS, Geoscience Australia, Valuer General, Provider directories, DEWR, JSA, State Transport Departments and ACARA — then aggregates them to the boundary shown and calculates the rankings, growth rates and benchmarks itself. Property sales come from the state valuation authority, rents from state rental bond lodgements, development applications from council and state planning portals, school data from ACARA, and public transport from state transport departments.
Is the Upper Caboolture data on this page just from the 2021 Census?
No. Most of this page is maintained well beyond the Census. Sourced entirely from current releases: development & approvals (Jun 2026), property sales & rents (Aug 2026), infrastructure projects (Aug 2026) and services & amenities (Jul 2026). Built on a Census baseline but carrying newer measures on top: population (to May 2026), age profile (to May 2026), employment (to Mar 2026), income (to FY 2023), education (to Aug 2026), transport (to Jul 2026) and health (to 2024). Population and age cohorts in particular are re-based to the latest ABS Estimated Resident Population rather than left at 2021 counts. Only housing, households and cultural diversity remain wholly Census-based, because no more current small-area dataset exists for those measures.
